Co-occurrence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in newborns and their parents.

Background: The potential HPV transmission route includes horizontal transmission "in utero" and vertical transmission from parents. Less is known about the role of child's father as a potential source of HPV infection and involved in the pathogen's epidemic chain. A possible consequence of perinatal infection includes HPV-related childhood diseases and carrying the risk of cervical cancer development in female offspring.

The Prevalence of Human Papillomavirus between the Neonates and Their Mothers.

The impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection on pregnancy is a major problem of medicine. The transmission of the virus from mother to fetus is a process yet unresolved. The immune response and changed hormonal status of pregnant women might facilitate infection.

Prevalence of human papillomavirus and herpes simplex virus in amniotic fluid from pregnant women of Eastern Poland.

Background: The exact route of human papillomavirus (HPV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV) transmission from a pregnant woman to her fetus has not been clearly established thus far. The data of many studies raise the possibility of intrauterine infection. In order to clarify our knowledge about virus vertical transmission in pregnant women, viral prevalence in amniotic fluid cannot.

Risk factors of the vertical transmission of human papilloma virus in newborns from singleton pregnancy - preliminary report.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the frequency of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) isolation in pregnant women and their offspring, and to assess the risk of maternal-neonatal transmission.

Study Design: The study included vaginal/buccal smears of 135 pregnant women, as well as the buccal smears and the respiratory discharge samples from their neonates. The material was tested for the presence of HPV DNA by means of PCR.

Prevalence of human papillomavirus in spontaneously aborted products of conception.

Objective: To compare the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in placentas from women with spontaneous abortions and from control women after term delivery.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Pathology of Pregnancy, Medical University of Lublin (Poland).

[Prevalence of Leptotrichia amnionii sp. nov. in pregnant women].

Introduction: Leptotrichia bacteria belong to the group of Gram-negative anaerobes most frequently colonizing the oral cavity and reproductive organs. Leptotrichia sanquigenes constitute one of the bacterial factors in postpartum bacteremia of mothers and newborns, whilst Leptotrichia amnionii sp. nov.

Forceps delivery after two previous Caesarean sections.

Caesarean section is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in current obstetric practice. There are several reasons for this upward tendency, including well developed hemotherapy, anesthesia, antibiotic treatment and skilled doctors. Despite such risks as uterine rupture, necessity of blood transfusion or the possibility of the necessity of ending the delivery by means of surgery, it is possible, in justified cases, to attempt spontaneous labor.

[Ectopic and intrauterine simultaneous pregnancies--diagnostic difficulties].

There are special troubles to diagnose ectopic and intrauterine simultaneous pregnancies. The intrauterine pregnancy usually releases from coexisting ectopic pregnancy diagnosis. Diagnostic difficulties were analysed.

[Influence of labetalol on the resistance of human fetoplacental vessels in perfusion in vitro].

Objectives: The main unfavourable effects observed in gestosis include: increased vascular peripheral resistance and increased blood pressure with a defective uteroplacental flow. The above mentioned changes may result from disorders in prostacyclin PGI2/thromboxane A2 balance.

Design: The aim of the studies presented was to compare the effects of, labetalol on the fetal vascular resistance induced by U 46,619--stable analogue of thromboxane A2 an experimental bilateral perfusion of the human placental lobule.
